Senator Steve Zargo, speaking to FrontPageAfrica Monday blamed the violence on exuberant partisans who had high expectations and hopes of their individual candidates would emerge victorious. Senator Zargo says he believes that the violence also erupted because state security forces were not adequate enough to match the rival groups causing problems. Said Chair Zargo said he hopes the that the Alternative National Congress accepts the result under the spirit of the CPP and the voter perception survey that informed the engagement. Also notable is that while Taa attended to his injured partisans, an inconspicuous regrouping of the other parties without notice to our candidate took place to announce LP’s candidate, Edith Gongloe Weh as the CPP’s candidate. Mr. Zargo’s comments come as his party’s political leader, Senator Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence (CPP, Grand Bassa) expressed regrets over acts of violence following Sunday’s chaotic end to primary held in Sanniquellie.
